■SETTING THE TIME AND ADJUSTING
THE STOPWATCH HAND POSITION

1. Pull out the crown to the second click when
the small second hand is at the 12 o’clock

automatically reset to “0”.
*If the alarm has been set, the alarm hands will
turn to indicate the current time.
2. Turn the crown to set the hour and minute
hands.
*It is recommended that the hands be set to
the time a few minutes ahead of the current
time, taking into consideration the time
required to set the alarm hands and to adjust
the stopwatch hand position if necessary.
Notes:

check that AM/PM is correctly set. The
watch is so designed that the date
changes once in 24 hours.

■STOPWATCH
■LUMIBRITE WATCH
✼If your watch is a LORUS LUMIBRITE watch,
it has following features.
LORUS LUMIBRITE watches absorb and store
light energy from natural and artificial light
sources and emit light in the dark. They are
made of environmentally friendly material,
and therefore, are harmless to human beings
and the environment.
•With a full charge, LORUS LUMIBRITE
watches glow in the dark hours longer than
conventional luminous watches of this type.
If exposed to a light of more than 500 lux
(i.e., the brightness of a typical office) for
approximately 10 minutes, or direct sunlight
for 2 minutes, they will glow for hours.
•Since LORUS LUMIBRITE watches emit the
light they store, the brightness will decrease
gradually over time. The length of time they
will glow may also differ slightly depending
on such factors as the brightness of and
distance from the light source used to
charge the watch.
■BATTERY CHANGE
The miniature battery SEIKO SR927W, Maxell
SR927W or SONY SR927W or EVEREADY
399,which powers your watch should last
approximately 3 years. However, because it
is inserted at the factory, the actual life of the
battery once in your possession may be less
than 3 years.
Be sure to replace the battery to prevent any
possible malfunction as soon as it runs down.
To replace the battery we recommend taking
the watch to a local watch repair shop.
Notes:
1. If the stopwatch is used for more than 2
hours a day and/or the alarm rings for more
than 20 seconds a day, the battery life may
be less than the specified period.
2. After the battery is replaced with a new
one, set the time/calendar and alarm and
adjust the stopwatch hand position.
■CARE OF YOUR LORUS WATCH
•BATTERY
CAUTION
Do not expose the old battery to fire

wear the watch with some play to avoid any
possible allergic reaction. If you develop a
rash on your wrist, stop wearing and consult a
physician.
•MAGNETISM
Your watch will not be affected by magnetism
generated by household electric appliances.
•SHOCKS AND VIBRATIONS
Your watch may be worn for normal sports
activities, but be careful not to drop it or hit it
on hard surfaces.

accuracy may be insured at normal tempera-
ture.
